As the days become shorter and shorter and the nights fill with cool brisk air, you're finding yourself wrapped up in a hooded blanket around the house more than you'd like to admit. You may have also noticed your once thriving indoor plants drooping more than usual.

News flash: It’s winter and chances are your plant babies will need that extra bit of TLC this season.

If you haven’t added grow lights to your plant care kit but have always been meaning to, then you’re at the right place. With grow lights becoming more and more prevalent in the plant space, it’s important to find the best grow lights that will keep your golden pothos golden, and your zanzibar gem zippy.

Grow lights use electricity to produce light particles that plants use to photosynthesise and plants use photons of a certain wavelength/colour to produce energy - this is why not any old LED light can be used as a 'grow light'. Grow lights are designed to optimise growth of seedlings and plants, especially during winter where the sun is (more often than not) in hiding. 

So, don’t be caught off guard this season. Keep your house plants looking greener than ever with our top picks of grow lights to add to your plant care collection.
